Chronic lymphocytic leukemia presenting as jaundice.
Hematological and lymphoid malignancies rarely present with manifestations outside these tissues. We report a patient with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) presenting with jaundice and generalized lymphadenopathy. The liver profile was suggestive of hepatitis; biopsy showed mild cholestasis. The findings suggest paraneoplastic jaundice with CLL.
